The girl saw her smile, slowly calming down, and then stared at her for a while, also presenting her with a smile.
The first eting between people is often about first impressions, and Xia Wan’an took quite a liking to this girl. So, unlike her usual reluctance to engage with strangers, she said to her, "My na is Xia Wan’an, what’s yours?"
The girl didn’t respond, only smiling at her again.
Seeing that the girl was unwilling to respond, Xia Wan’an didn’t continue the conversation.
The girl pointed at the seat next to Xia Wan’an. Xia Wan’an guessed that the girl was asking if she could sit there. Xia Wan’an didn’t refuse. She lightly nodded at the girl, who seed quite pleased and gave her a radiant smile, then sat down next to her.
Since the girl didn’t seem to want to talk, Xia Wan’an stayed silent, too.
The two sat there in silence.
Before long, a series of footsteps sounded from behind them.
Xia Wan’an didn’t bother to turn around, but the girl next to her twisted her body, glanced towards the sound, and then lightly nudged Xia Wan’an.
Xia Wan’an turned around, only to see a nervous-looking girl.
She was about to ask her what was wrong when a tall cup suddenly landed heavily in front of her, accompanied by the curt voice of a woman, "Hello, may we get to know each other?"
Xia Wan’an glanced at the person who had spoken, they were a group of people. The one leading them was vaguely familiar, she seed to be with Qin Shujian. She ignored these girls and looked around, seeing Qin Shujian standing not too far away, sipping a pink champagne and looking like he was enjoying the show.
So, after failing to gain the upper hand earlier, they’d co over now pretending to propose a toast, likely hoping to get her drunk?
Childish!
As if she was scared of them!
Having decided this, Xia Wan’an reached for the glass of wine.
Everyone around thought she was going to take the wine, their eyes eting in excited anticipation.
However, just as Xia Wan’an’s hand touched the stem of the wine glass, she suddenly pushed it aside and stood up, "Excuse , but I must leave."
The previously aggressive group of won: "..."
Even the girl beside her widened her eyes at Xia Wan’an, blinking in confusion: "?????"
Naive!
Did they think she’d just drink because they wanted her to?
Xia Wan’an looked at the girl who was staring at her in astonishnt, worried that if she left, the group would pick on her. So, she patted her shoulder, "Let’s go."
The girl seed delighted, leaping from her chair and preparing to follow Xia Wan’an out.
After only a few steps, they happened to cross paths with a waiter carrying a pot of hot soup towards the buffet area.
There were several people standing nearby, and sohow one of them pushed the woman closest to the waiter, then that woman who was wearing high heels scread and lunged at the waiter.
The pot of soup was quite heavy, and the waiter who was struck failed to hold it steady, spilling it everywhere.
And the soup was heading straight for the girl next to Xia Wan’an.
